TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hello,

also the last (empty) page should be fed transported through the printer.
Which printer model do you have?

Hello, I just saw that this thread hasn't been answered yet. Currently there is not much user demand for Linux drivers for these printers so we concentrate on smaller inkjet printers. However, as we also sell a Macintosh version of our drivers (the "PrintFab" printer driver & RIP softw...

Hello,

please excuse the delay - this post has been missed. No direct support for FreeBSD is planned

Hello magi6162, if the installation was successful, you should find the icons "TurboPrint Control Center" and "TurboPrint Status Monitor" on your desktop. If the installation did not work, you can use the TGZ archive of TurboPrint for installation. It includes its own installer w...

Hello harddrago, if your printer is connected via USB, you should use the TP-USB driver for sending the printer data. This is selected when setting the printer up in the TurboPrint Control Center (menu "Connection"). The table showing all TurboPrint printers lists the port connection in th...

Hello, thank you for your feedback! The densiometer of the 10ps is not enabled in PrintFab as automatic calibration didn't work reliably with our test printer. I will email you instructions on how to enable calibration - but this is not officially supported. It doesn't make sense to use HP's paper p...

Hello,

we're just working to complete the Canon MP970 driver and will post on availability (should be available until end of September).
USB connection will be supported, very likely also LAN connection.

For printing to a USB printer using the CUPS printing system you need a working usblp driver. Then the device /dev/usblp0 will be provided and the USB backend can send data to your printer. This issue is not a special TurboPrint problem - it will not work with standard CUPS drivers either on your sy...

Hello SilverJumbo,

this issue is not known yet. Could you please send in a bugreport through our webpage -> feedback?
There you can also fill in some additional information we need, like the version number of TurboPrint, connection type of your printer, etc.

Hello nightbug, as your printer is connected via USB, why do you change access rights of the parallel port "/dev/lp0"? The USB port would be either "/dev/usb/lp0" or "/dev/usblp0". Please check your printer connection in the TurboPrint Control Center (or TurboPrint Setu...

Hello, we could finally reproduce the problem - internally a "/rangecheck in --image--" is reported by ghostscript when trying to render the image sent by gimp. The problem not caused by the TurboPrint printer driver, but either by ghostscript (as there are no problems with ghostscript ver...

Hello, thank you for your problem report! Can you post the log file /var/log/turboprint/print.log after such a print was made (too much ink, wrong size)? Or email the log file to mail at zedonet dot de. Is the ink amount okay with other settings (lower or higher print quality / plain paper instead o...

Hello Hamamelis,

thank you for your feedback - good to hear that you like our software!

If the message "can't open libcups" still appears, please check which of the foolowing files

/usr/lib/libcups.so
/usr/lib/libcups.so.2
/usr/lib32/libcups.so
/usr/lib32/libcups.so.2
/usr/lib64/libcups.so
/usr/lib64/libcups.so.2

are present.

The HP CP1700 is not supported directly, however it might work with the driver of the C5180 printer.
You can download and try the free 30-day demo version of TurboPrint. It works for 30 days without any limitations.
At least it is worth a try.
